Evaluating the Impact of Digital Tools on Agile and Lean Construction Practices
Keywords:
Agile Project Management (APM); Lean Construction (LC); Digital Integration; Resource Optimization; Stakeholder CollaborationAbstract
The construction industry continues to face challenges related to inefficiency, resource waste, and limited adaptability to dynamic project requirements. This study investigates the integration of Agile Project Management (APM) and Lean Construction (LC) principles through digital technologies to enhance project performance. By leveraging tools such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data Analytics, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, the research aims to bridge gaps in traditional construction project management practices. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining survey data from 105 construction professionals with qualitative insights from industry experts. The findings indicate that digital integration significantly improves process efficiency, reduces project complexity, and enhances cost control and client satisfaction. However, gaps in digital competence and organizational readiness remain key barriers to effective adoption. The study proposes an integrated Lean–Agile digital framework to support sustainable, responsive, and performance-driven construction project delivery, offering practical guidance for digital transformation in construction management.
